Advanced Planning and Scheduling for Automotive Manufacturers
In a fast-moving, high-stakes environment like the automotive supply chain, delivering on promises isn’t just a best practice – it’s a competitive necessity. Advanced Planning and Scheduling Software (APS) from Synchrono® helps automotive parts manufacturers overcome resource constraints, adapt to fluctuating priorities, and handle unforseen delays with confidence.
How APS Works
SyncManufacturing from Synchrono integrates with your existing systems to set the foundation for smart planning and scheduling. Scheduling aligns production to material availability and capacity by accounting for real-time equipment and tool constraints. Leveraging live data, production schedules are adjusted to adapt to unanticipated delays and fluctuating priorities. With one click, adjusted schedules are sent throughout the organization, keeping everyone aligned to the production schedule and priorities.
Key Benefits for Automotive Parts Manufacturers
With Just-In-Time (JIT) replenishment becoming a cornerstone of the automotive manufacturing industry, parts suppliers are often under intense pressure to meet their delivery commitments. SyncManufacturing from Synchrono helps automotive manufacturers:
Enable Sales
Provide your sales team with real-time access to accurate capable-to-promise dates that account for inventory and resource constraints. SyncManufacturing gives sales the insights they need to avoid overcommitting factory resources and build customer trust. With increased visibility, production supervisors spend less time negotiating delivery dates and expediting orders to meet customer promises.
Facilitate Partnerships
As complex as the automotive manufacturing supply chain can be, collaboration is essential. SyncManufacturing helps foster relationships with OEMs, technology providers, and other suppliers through transparent, standardized planning processes.
Optimize Resource Utilization
SyncManufacturing leverages finite capacity planning algorithms to align production to factory capacity. Improved resource utilization has helped our customers slash lead times by as much as 75% and improve on-time deliveries from 50% to 98%.
Stay Agile & Aligned
SyncManufacturing allows you to easily adapt to supply chain disruptions and unforeseen production delays with real-time scheduling adjustments. Schedule changes can be easily disseminated throughout the organization so everyone is working from the same plan.
Stay Lean & Lower Costs
Lower inventory costs and waste by synchronizing production schedules with actual demand and available capacity. SyncManufacturing allows you to focus on improving throughput, not just “staying busy.”
